Hollywood Vampires Announce 2026 Tour

After more than three years away from the stage, the Hollywood Vampires have announced a European summer tour, signaling a long-awaited return for the rock ’n’ roll supergroup. The band — featuring Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Cooper guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and actor-musician Johnny Depp — will launch the run on August 12 in London.

The tour will take the Vampires across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy, before concluding on September 2 in Este, Italy. Tickets are set to go on sale to the general public on January 23, with demand expected to be strong given the band’s extended absence and cult-like following.

A Supergroup That Defies Easy Scheduling

Since their formation, the Hollywood Vampires have been defined as much by chemistry as by complexity. With every member balancing multiple careers, organizing live performances has often proven difficult. Perry acknowledged those challenges in a 2025 interview with radio host Eddie Trunk.

“I’m still pinching myself this band actually got moving, because everybody’s got other things going on,” Perry said. He noted that Depp’s acting commitments often require months at a time. “It’s not like, ‘I can’t do it this day.’ It’s like, ‘I can’t do it this month.’”

Perry added that Cooper’s famously relentless touring schedule presents its own hurdles. “If we don’t book something almost a year ahead, he’s gonna be booked,” he said.

A Documentary and a Legacy Still Unfolding

Alongside the tour news, Perry revealed that a Hollywood Vampires documentary is currently in development. “I just saw a rough cut and it’s pretty amazing,” he said, hinting at a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s evolution.

Reflecting on the group’s 2019 album Rise, Perry described it as “amazing” and “so much fun,” noting that its creation plays a key role in the film. While future recordings or tours remain uncertain, the guitarist suggested the desire is still there. “Everybody’s tied up right now,” he said, “but I know that in the back of everyone’s mind, it’d be great to get back together again.”

For now, the upcoming tour stands as a reminder that the Hollywood Vampires are less about permanence than moments — fleeting, loud, and unapologetically alive when schedules finally align.
